  • Title: [Appearance of fresh vertebral body fractures on the bone scintigram].
    Author: Tiedjen KU, Franke R, Wortmann FD.
    Journal: Rofo; 1984 Apr; 140(4):452-6. PubMed ID: 6425172.
    Abstract:
    Based on observations on 27 patients technetium-99m-diphosphonate scintigram is recommended as two-stage-investigation. During the first 12 hours no activity and up to 48 hours only slight activity can be seen in contrast to a marked take-up of the tracer after 6 to 8 days. This enables a timing of the fracture, which can be of importance in compensation and legal disputes.
